Qiyas has two forms: the extended ruling may be of the same specific type as the original ruling, or of the same broader genus.

Same type: the ruling shared between the cases is relatively specific.
Same genus: the shared legal category is broader while its subtypes may differ.

This distinction changes how a proposed analogy can be challenged; it is not merely terminological.
